Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
• 12 ounces spaghetti (broken in half)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 olive oil or cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes until tender and lightly browned.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to cook for 1 minute.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Add the cooked chicken and cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat everything evenly with the sauce.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
